Before Jalen Brunson dominated Madison Square Garden in a Knicks uniform, he was an All-American at Villanova. Now, he’s starring in a new AT&T commercial that encapsulates all college basketball fans during March Madness.
It’s fitting that Brunson is in a March Madness commercial considering he won two NCAA championships in three years with Villanova.
Current New York Liberty and former Oregon Ducks guard Sabrina Ionescu and USC guard JuJu Watkins are featured alongside Brunson in the newest ad. Ionescu reached the Final Four in 2018-19 as a junior and Watkins is in her first NCAA season.
Here’s more to know about the trio of NCAA standout guards.

Jalen Brunson AT&T commercial
March is the best month of the year for college basketball fans. It’s impossible to watch enough college hoops between the men’s and women’s sides, especially when there are up to four games going on at a time in the Round of 64.
Brunson gets it, and he knows he’s a “vibe.” The former Villanova standout, who won two NCAA championships, wears a jacket decked out with over a dozen phones, each with a different college basketball game on. He’s rocking his “tournament jacket” while explaining to a friend it’s so he can watch games “at home or on the go” with AT&T.
The commercial cuts to Brunson walking down the sidewalk with fans following him, watching the March Madness games on his jacket. Fans continue to peer through the window of the cafe as Brunson sits down with Ionescu.
Even Ionescu is watching as she says “money” while a shot goes in.
Watkins, who isn’t with the duo, questions the “tournament jacket” when seeing Brunson’s social media post. Fans seem to love it, however, as one bus rider said he’s “just like Jalen” while wearing his own “tournament jacket.”
The commercial ends with Brunson claiming he is “a vibe.”
Perhaps he’s right.
